The present paper deals with accuracy improvement of a bleed boundary condition model used to improve the performance of supersonic inlets. In order to accurately predict the amount of bleed mass flow rates, this study performs a scaling of sonic flow coefficient data for 90-degree bleed holes in consideration of Prandtl-Meyer expansion theory. Furthermore, it is assumed that porosity varies with stream-wise location of the porous bleed plate to accurately predict downstream boundary layer profiles. The bleed boundary condition model is demonstrated through Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations of bleed flows on a flat plate with/without an oblique shock. As a result, the bleed model shows the improved accuracy of bleed mass rates and downstream boundary layer profiles.

The microstructures of sintered products of $Fe_2O_3$or $Fe_3O_4$-Oxide added cast iron powder was investigated. And the effects of particle size distribution was investigated too. As the result, the structures of sintered products did not related to the species of Fe-Oxide. Th porosity of sintered products was decreased in size and spherodized with increasing sintering temperature, decreasing Fe-Oxide quantity. Fe-Oxide itself did not hinder sintering of cast iron powder particularly, therefore sintering could be occurred without termination of reduction of it. And the sintered products of finer particle size distribution had finer and more spherodized porosity, and had minimized the deviation of size and shape of porosity.

In this paper, the deflection and buckling analyses of porous nano-composite piezoelectric plate reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) are studied. The equations of equilibrium using energy method are derived from principle of minimum total potential energy. In the research, the non-local strain gradient theory is employed to consider size dependent effect for porous nanocomposite piezoelectric plate. The effects of material length scale parameter, Eringen's nonlocal parameter, porosity coefficient and aspect ratio on the deflection and critical buckling load are investigated. The results indicate that the effect of porosity coefficient on the increase of the deflection and critical buckling load is greatly higher than the other parameters effect, and size effect including nonlocal parameter and the material length scale parameter have a lower effect on the deflection increase with respect to the porosity coefficient, respectively and vice versa for critical buckling load. Porous nanocomposites are used in various engineering fields such as aerospace, medical industries and water refinery.

Effects of porous fences on the wind erosion of sand particles from a triangular pile were investigated experimentally. The porous fence and sand pile were installed in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer. The mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles measured at the sand pile location were well fitted to the atmospheric boundary layer over the open terrain. Particle motion was visualized to see the motion of windblown sand particles qualitatively. In addition, the threshold velocity were measured using a light sensitive video camera with varying the fence porosity ${\varepsilon}$. As a result, various types of particle motion were observed according to the fence porosity. The porous wind fence having porosity ${\varepsilon}=30%$ was revealed to have the maximum threshold velocity, indicating good shelter effect for abating windblown dust particles.

This study presents a mathematical model for simulating the fate and transport of a reactive organic contaminant degraded through cometabolism in dual-porosity soils during the in situ bioaugmentations. To investigate the effect of dual-porosity on transport and biodegradation of organic hydrocarbons, a bimodal approach was incorporated into the model. Modified Monod kinetics and a microcolony concept [Molz et at., 1986〕 were employed to represent the effects of biodegrading microbes on the transport and biodegradation of an organic contaminant. The effect of permeability reduction due to biomass accumulation on the flow field were examined in the simulation of a hypothetical field-scale in situ bioaugmentation. Simulation results indicate that the presence of the immobile region can decrease the bioavailablity of biodegradable contaminants and that the placement of microbes and nutrients injection wells should be considered for an effective in situ bioaugmentation scheme.

The voltage profile of Zinc/Air battery during discharge has very flat pattern in a given voltage range, But, if not enough the porosity in cathode, as a result of that capacity, energy and discharge voltage of batteries become low. Therefore, we focused the pore effects in activated carbon for cathode. We examined discharge voltage, specific capacity, specific energy, resistance and characteristics during the GSM pulse discharge upon different kinds of activated carbon in Zinc/Air battery, Also we measured porosity of the air cathode according to the ASTM. So we achieved improvement of specific capacity, specific energy and discharge voltage according to increase meso pores of activated carbon. We found the optimized activated carbon material for Zinc/Air battery.

In this paper, a refined exponential shear deformation theory for free vibration analysis of functionally graded beam with considering porosities that may possibly occur inside the functionally graded materials (FGMs) during their fabrication. For this purpose, a new displacement field based on refined shear deformation theory is implemented. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the surfaces of the beam without using shear correction factors. Based on the present refined shear deformation beam theory, the equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle. The rule of mixture is modified to describe and approximate material properties of the FG beams with porosity phases. The accuracy of the present solutions is verified by comparing the obtained results with the existing solutions. Illustrative examples are given also to show the effects of varying gradients, porosity volume fraction, aspect ratios, and thickness to length ratios on the free vibration of the FG beams.

A literature review was conducted to survey informations available on the welding metallurgy of aluminum alloys and its effect on fusion weldability, especially on solidification cracking and pore formation. Solidification cracking behavior of Al weld is a complicate matter as compared to other high alloys, where a relatively simple Fe-X(most detrimental elements S, P, B, Si, etc) binary diagram can be successfully applicable. Both additive and synergistic effects of elements should be considered together. A same element play a different role from system to system. Porosity, caused by hydrogen contamination of the weld is one of the most troublesome welding problems. The primary sources of hydrogen are believed to be an absorbed moisture on the filler metal or base metal and in the shielding gas. It is extremely important that reliable quality-control procedures be employed to eliminate all possible sources of hydrogen contamination. Selection of proper process and parameters is sometimes more important than controlling of alloying elements in order to make a defect-free weld.

Forced vibration behavior of porous metal foam nanoplates on elastic medium is studied via a 4-variable plate theory. Different porosity distributions called uniform, symmetric and asymmetric are considered. Nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) containing two scale parameters is employed for size-dependent modeling of porous nanoplates. The present plate theory satisfies the shear deformation effect and it has lower field variables compared with first order plate theory. Hamilton's principle is employed to derive the governing equations. Obtained results from Galerkin's method are verified with those provided in the literature. The effects of nonlocal parameter, strain gradient, foundation parameters, dynamic loading, porosity distributions and porosity coefficient on dynamic deflection and resonance frequencies of metal foam nanoscale plates are examined.

This article focused on studying the buckling behavior of two-dimensional functionally graded (2D-FG) nanosize tubes, including porosity based on first shear deformation and higher-order theory of tube. The nano-scale tube is simulated based on the nonlocal gradient strain theory, and the general equations and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton's principle for the Zhang-Fu's tube model (as higher-order theory) and Timoshenko beam theory. Finally, the derived equations are solved using a numerical method for both simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions. The parametric study is performed to study the effects of different parameters such as axial and radial FG power indexes, porosity parameter, nonlocal gradient strain parameters on the buckling behavior of di-dimensional functionally graded porous tube.
